I can't believe this....

What were they thinking in messing up a classic cartoon like this? It doesn't even have the feel of the old and classic ones back then, this is completely garbage, worse than that lame Tom and Jerry kids show, ugh, what is with that one. Tom and Jerry don't do those things, well in the old ones, they did say some words, but had better voices, and the chase sequences of the game of cat and mouse were very much missing, there were only a few, but weren't all that brilliant. They didn't even have their hilarious screams neither, or other funny antics with hammers, rockets, anvils, bowling bowls or any other cartoon classic weapon next to the pie. They had some songs that aren't all that worthy, especially the one by Rip Taylor's character. But he's so brilliant. And none of the other supporting characters of the original make an appearance here! That Droopy one is just not satisfactory at all, it's like a blatant Roger Rabbit rip! Where's the maid, or spike, or Nibbles or whatever his name is, the gray mouse, and where's the trio of cats, the black one, the fat short one, the stupid looking one, and where's the canary, or the duckling? Nowhere! They made them talk, and sing, and dance, and put some useless characters, without paying much homage to the original ones. This is nonsense, just watch the old cartoons on Carton Network or any other channel that broadcasts it. Avoid this and the Tom and Jerry Kids Show.
